On the top floor, from my penthouse    I survey what I rule    High rises    Thin curtains    All lights go out by two       No one ever sees me    Yet I know all of you    It's sort of like a small town    When your whole lives are on my computer       Ah... Ah...       All the power, none of the stress    So much better being hatchet man    Than a henpecked attention-starved target    Like the big man himself       Our goal is perpetual economic victory    We play with you to amuse ourselves    Our motives are personal    Our motives are political    Our motives are sexual    I know       Hi Ho Hi Ho Hi Ho       The laws we make for others    Don't apply to us    We do what we want       A lethargic population is the key to our control    Who'd rather watch someone's life on tv    Than participate in their own    Mentally they feel helpless    Physically they just give up    We priced the healthy food so high    They can only buy soda pop       A house broken bee colony    That goes home after 5    Too burnt and glazed to threaten us    With purpose in their lives       Ah... Ah...    Ha Ha Ha    We drug their snacks at work    Mix hormones in kids lunch at school    Don't be a pill, it's good for you       The men grow up muscular    Short tempered and kinda dumb    The women develop those outrageous curves    The kind you only used to see    In the movies and magazines    We banned and rounded up for ourselves    Hi-Ho    Hi-Ho    It's off to do our work you go       We melt you with acid rain    Keep you poor for economic gain    Convince you your biggest threat    Is drugs and terrorists       They don't even have to be real    Just find a face, make up a crime    Run sensational headlines    Works every time       The people must not realize    They are being manipulated    For them to be manipulated effectively       We give 'em things to worry about    Buying clothes and losing weight    Your lack of curiosity    Is the key to our success       Your lack of curiosity is the key to our success    Hi Ho    Hi Ho    Hi Ho    Life's so simple and happy    When everything's clear.
